the glory of the morning
That is breaking round the world,
With its golden light adorning
A new flag of hope unfurled
By the hosts of brotherhood
That enlist in every nation,
Battling for the common good
And for all men's elevation,
There is heard a mighty chorus
And ten million voices call:
"Brothers, clear the way before us!
All for each, and each for all!"

LIKE
an army brave with banners,
They are coming up the way.
Let us greet them with bosannas,
Heralds of a better day.
Have we seen and understood
What the thing is they are bringing—
Visions of the great and good
Since the morning stars were singing?
Tis a harvest of God's gleaning
Growing since earth's primal plan,
Ind its new and mighty meaning
Is the brotherhood of man—

9'TIS the army of endeavor,

One today and one forever,
Labor's legions, marching onI
And their feet are keeping time
To the music of production.
To the harmony sublime
Of creation and construction.
Hammers beating, spindles humming,
Engines pulsing day and night,
Throb in tune with Labor's coming
Million-handed for the right.
V.
MOTHERHOOD as wide as earth Is—
Love of God and love of neighbor!
And the cause of this new birth is
The ui ItsJ ranks of Labor.
Yet a higher hope they hold
And a brighter, gladder promise
That the slaughters known of old
And the strifes are passing from us.
Long sought and long overdue time,
Comes the age when war shall cease!
For these soldiers of the new time
Are the messengers of peace.

Based on love of one another!
In the twinkling of an eye

When Greed ruled with iron law,
When the toiler bad for wages
But his crust and bed of straw,
How he must have longed to know
What to us is freely given
One faint glimpse of this new glow
Would have seemed to im like heaven.
Now those in the shadows standing
Are uniting and as one
Are from out their gioom demanding
Air and room beneath the sun.
Until every workingman
'Neath its folds shall feel protected.
To false counsel bid defiance.
Not on violence, but right.
Place your firm and sure reliance
And thus win your bloodless fight.

Who Prosecuted Fugitive.
IS FAMILIAR WITH DETAILS
Former Dlstrlot Attorney Conducted
Both Trial* of the Slayer of
Stanford Wtilto.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 23.—William
Travers Jerome, former district at
torney of New York county, has been
appointed by Attorney General Car
mody a special deputy attorney gen
eral to represent the state in procur
ing the return of Harry K. Thaw to
New York's jurisdiction.,
He was selected because of his
familiarity with the Thaw case,
gained in the twe murder trials and
as special counsel in several of Thaw's
attempts te establish his sanity.
It is not the present Intention to
send Mr. Jerome to Canada, but to
employ his services in procuring the
extradition of Thaw from any state to
which he may be deported from Can
ada.
Attorney General Carmody said he
had reason to believe Vermont would
be the state to which the fugitive
would be returned and that the date
would be next Wednesday.
A similar announcement was made
by Acting Governor Glynn and was
embodied in a telegram to Governor
Fletcher of Vermont, requesting his
good offices in effecting the return of
Thaw to New York.
Both gubernatorial claimants receiv
ed communications from federal au
thorities respecting the Thaw extra
dition.
Secretary of state Bryan telegraph
ed to Mr. Sulzer and wrote to Mr.
Glynn, apprising them that he would
do what he could in the matter al
though he was hampered by lack of
authority.
A telegram to Mr. Glynn and Mr.
Oarmody from Secretary of Labor
Wilson was of the same import.
MAY TELL ALL HE KNOWS

man Roger" Thompson, the New
York chauffeur held under the Domin
ion immigration laws as having aid
ed Harry K. Thaw, legally a lunatic,
to cross the Canadian frontier, an
nounced from his cell that he was
"up against it."
He said that if the Thaw family
did not come to his rescue he would
be forced to tell all he knows about
Thaw's escape from Matteawan and*i§jX passengers."
thus complicate the proceedings un
der which Thaw's lawyers hope to
obtain his release on a writ of
habeas corpus Wednesday next.
Thompson laid aside the smoked
eyeglasses he has worn since his ar
rest and admitted that the name
"Mitchell Thompson" he had given
the authorities was fictitious and that
In reality he is Roger Thompson, car
salesman and daredevil chauffeur,,
who drove the black machine which
whisked Stanford White's slayer
away from Matteawan.

Thirty-three Passengers and
Seven of the Crew.
Seattle, Aug. 20.—Fifty-four passen
gers who sailed from Seattle on the
steamship State of California were
booked for Juneau and Skagway and
presumably were on the ship when
she struck a rock and sank in Gam
bier bay, Alaska. Twenty-two passen
gers were taken on board at Prince
Rupert, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wran
gell and other points, and these also
were on the boat at the time of the
disaster, making a total of seventy-
Fortythree passengers were res
cued and taken to Juneau by the
steamship Jefferson, leaving thirty
three who probably have perished.
Seven of the crew are dead, making
the total dead forty.
These figures of the number of pas
sengers are given by the Pacific Coast
Steamship company. They cannot be
verified by the purser, who lost all
his records. It is possible that some
of the fifty-four passengers booked to
sail from Seattle changed their minds
at the last moment.

MUST CHANGE HIS TACTICS
Unless Satisfying Overtures Are Made
by Huerta Wilson Will Send
Message to Congress.
Washington, Aug. 36.—Besides Great
Britain, France and Japan practically
all the Central and South American
countries are Jendlng their support to
efforts of the United States to bring
about a peaceful settlement of the
Mexican revolution.
Unless satisfactory overtures are
made by the Huerta government in
a day or two President Wilson will
proclaim in person in a message to
Both houses of congress the principle
that constitutional government alone
can be recognized in Mexico.
He also will outline the suggestions
of the United States for the elimina
tion of Huerta and the establishment
of a legally constituted administration
in the Southern republic.
That the United States is backed by
a worldwide sentiment in its peace
policy is conceded in diplomatic cir
cles here.

oare would not receive Francisco de
la Barra,'Huerta's minister to France.

While President Wilson has com
pleted his message, which will em
brace not only a summary of the pro
posals made by John Lind and the re
ply of the Huerta government, but a
statement of the policy to be followed
by the United States, administration
officials were reticent to discuss the
course that would be pursued.
They pointed to the Latin American
statement issued by President Wilson
during the first fortnight of his ad
ministration and declared it would be
the basis of what he would have to
say in his. message on Mexico.
In that statement the president an
nounced he earnestly desired "the
most cordial understanding and co
operation between the peoples and
leaders of America," and said:
"Co-operation is possible only when
supported at every turn by the orderly
processes of just government based
upon law, not upon arbitrary or irreg
ular force."

Attorney General Smith Gives His
Opinion of the Insurance Under*
writers' Association.
If Insurance is. a commodity within
the meaning of the state anti-trust
law then the Minneapolis Underwrit
ers' association is a combination in
restraint of trade. This is the opin
ion of Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith, expressed at a hearing given
to representatives of the association
and those who have complained that
the organization is violating the state
laws.
Briefs will be submitted covering
the main question involved and the
attorney general's final opinion as to
whether .the association can be pro
ceeded against as were the Minne
apolis milk companies will be re
served until a later date.
When the opinion is rendered it
will go to Commissioner Preus for
action.
The original complaint against the
association was filed with Insurance
Commissioner Preus by Wilson &
Force, Minneapolis brokers. They
contended that they would be unable
to do fire insurance business unless
they became members of the associa
tion. This privilege, they said, had
been denied them.
TO OFFER MORE STATE PAPER
Board of Control Will Hold Sale About
Nov. 1 if Money Is Needed.
Because of the large demand for
Minnesota educational building certifi

sold to the general public Aug. 14, tho
state board of control may decide to
put another $100,000 worth on the
market about Nov. 1.
The $200,000 raised at the first sale
will take oare of all present needs
of the state board of control for
money with which to pay contractors
working on buildings at the university
and normal schools, but about Nov. 1
it is believed more money will be
needed and if this is the case the cer
tificates will be put on the market
again.
The interest rate of 5 per cent has
been particularly attractive to small
investors, as have also the $100 de
nominations.

EARNINGS SHOW AN INCREASE
Railroads of Minnesota Make Gain of
Eighteen Per Cent
Gross earnings of the railroads do
ing business in Minnesota for the first
six months of 1913 will approximate
$50,000,000, an increase of 18 per cent
over the same period last year. This
is shown by a tabulated comparison
made for twenty-four lines which have
reported by Glaudius Bomback, ac
countant in the office of State Auditor
Iverson. At 5 per cent the state tax
will amount to $2,500,000 for this pe

made by the tax commission.
